EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming scene from the Acton Central Nursery, also known as the War Creche exclusive for munition workers. Taken on 12 January 1917 during the tumultuous years of World War I, this image showcases children surrounded by love and care amidst a time of great uncertainty. The nursery stands out not only for its purpose but also for its unique collaboration with a neighboring school. The boys from this school have crafted sturdy cradle stands, showcasing their dedication to supporting their community in any way possible. In an era where women played an increasingly vital role in war work, this photograph beautifully illustrates their commitment to both family and country. Nannies can be seen tending to the children, providing them with comfort and nurturing while their parents contribute to the war effort. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and emotion to the image, emphasizing the gravity of these times. Alfieri's skillful composition transports us back to the 1920s - a decade marked by resilience and strength despite adversity. As we reflect on this piece of history captured through Alfieri's lens, let us remember those who selflessly sacrificed during World War I. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of turmoil, communities come together to support one another - ensuring that hope shines through even in our darkest moments.
